Update: Well i made a lot of changes, (thank you Mike) hopefully for the better this time around, i just could get that pose to work the way i wanted to so i had to change it up, and yes her foot would probably be melted to oblivion, but hey shes got super futuristic rocket safety boots on, let me know if the new one works or there is anything else i should address, thanks

Ok so this is alot farther along then what I had last thursday for those of you that saw. I like the drawing right now, havent put the burger in yet, prolly should cuz its a burger place menu. let me know if anything seems off with it. Im wondering if the type is working and if the colors feel right, im only aloud to use white and 3 other colors. let me know what you think thanks guys

Well. I got a bunch of portraits here. Just to kind of post something. It's been a pretty long time since I have. I'm pretty dang burnt out on doing males. Also, I've gotten a rare itch to do something with more background than character. I hope I can do something with it.

Got some stuff, if you've popped over to my blog, you've seen. Just kind of picked my favorites. Stuff from black and white, styles, sketch-a-days, and sketch-to-death.

Small note: I've been entirely lazy about getting out invites. I've been putting it off for months. Sorry if I've told you I'm going to send you one, and haven't.

I had a conversation with Mike about getting into prints to sell, so I thought I would try something that would maybe sell. There wasn't any kind of planning involved with this, which is odd for me. But you know, just trying something new.

Alright so this has been in the workshop for a while now and Im finally pretty satisfied with it. Id like to think of this as step one onto something a little more professional down the line. I like the techinique but maybe it could be stylized a little more. I think the girl is pretty cute but maybe she could be cuter. Ive been told that the biggest problem is context. I thought the coppertone girl was a cute idea but what do you all think. let me know.

Ok, I may not have time to fix it before class this Thursday, but let me know what you guys think. For anyone not in my Styles class the guidelines are to have black, white and no more then two colors besides that. Graphic.

With that being said, it isn't really my thing. But its still kinda fun.

Ok, so ive been working on this one for awhile, a lot of back and forth without getting anywhere, This is a big revamp from the train wreck that it was to anyone who saw it, I could use some encouraging words and a bit of help I think before I go back into it, let me know if its something worth pushing further

A personal piece I've been wanting to do for awhile of Tank Girl. Who's creator is one of my all time favorite artists Jamie Hewlett. I'm still not done coloring it but I thought I'd post it anyways and get some feedback.

Hey everyone, these are three color comps for my children's book, we don't have class this week so I thought I would see what you guys think about them. They are all double page spreads. The one of only the clouds and the one of the two in the grass will have text on them. I havn't found the right font yet though, so it's not on there yet. The full landscape one is the closest to what I want color wise so far, that muted quiet look is what I'm going for. So let me know what you think.

Here's one of my spot illustrations for styles and concepts. It was for the Aaron Burr article on how he was acquitted for trying to steal the western US. Oh, and by the way, I finally got my blog up earlier this week, so check it out and let me know what ya think.

i've been working on this for probably over a month.iii just don't know. it doesn't look done to me. there's so much more that i want to do/looks like needs to be done to me. but co and my teach insist it's fine. so-- for now at least.

So yeah. I'm really sick of school projects and hadn't really been doing my own projects either. So to get inspired again, I just decided to crank out some good old fashioned Star Wars art. I'd like to think that it's pretty much done, but let me know if there's anything that just really pisses you off. Anyway, I guess I'll call it.........."The Grand Dance of Darth Callus." Sure. Why not.

UPDATE!!!

Okay, since there was mention of music, I'll share what I have so far with you guys. Really the only way I've been able to throw this stuff together is because of my being sick and skipping classes. But anyway, it's a work in progress. Trying to keep with the classic John Williams Star Wars sound which has been a learning experience in itself. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy. You can listen to it here. It's the song called "Confronting Darth Callus (WIP)" (as would make sense with the painting :P) There's also a bunch of other stuff I've done over the years if you haven't heard it already. Cheers!
